Siblings

Tonight, we were listening to music, Yoshi was singing and playing with his shake shake instruments. I was taping his performance, and he's able to see himself at the same time from the screen (that's why he's looking into the camera).....here is the video (pay attention to Kiharu's reaction as well)

While talking to grandma on the phone....................

Someone is in good mood

This afternoon, suprisingly Yoshi went to nap without any struggle. After saying goodnight (good afternoon), the house was so peaceful for the next 90 mins. No wonder Kiharu was in such great mood, I think she was happy that the noise machine wasn't around (as much she loves seeing Yoshi most of the time, she can't take her eyes off from him)

This afternoon, with Yoshi taking a good nap and Kiharu in great mood, I took the advantage in baking bread as well (what a special day)....
When Yoshi woke up, he was baking his imaginative bread in his oven as well.... except he used the wrong tool......

Just as I ...............

Just as I...... was in needed to visit the bathroom sanctuary.......it was interrupted by another crying noise....

Just as I...... was taking my 2nd bite of ice-cream while both kids were napping (thinking how lucky and rare I could get such as special treat all to myself)......Yoshi woke up crying from his 20 mins nap.....and Kiharu followed hearing the noise.......ice-cream melted & the rest of the afternoon was not worth to mention.......

Just as I...... had turned on the computer, thinking to update the blog after both kids went to bed (a long night...).....Kiharu wanted to be held to sleep again in total darkness........


Just as I...... fell into deep sleep after that same long night, Yoshi woke me up to go to bathroom (he didn't say it, but I went with him anyway). And just as I hope to continue my dream, it's time to feed Kiharu......and...and.... just as I finished part II of my dream afterwards, I got a kung fu kick on my forehead by the same little guy who refused to leave the bedroom and slept right next to me......

Just as I...... thought/ hope today would be a better day during nap........after 2 hrs of singing on his bed & wandering along the hallway, I gave up.... (hoping he will sleep well tonight perhaps)

Just as I...... got exhausted after a long day, but seeing both of their smiles, made me looking forward to the next day.

Day 1

Well, as I'm able to write this blog, meaning I (we) have survived our first day since grandparents leaving. We started out early morning to the airport. Then I came back with the kids. The house was much MUCH quiet today. Dining table is back to just me and Yoshi again, no more clapping hands and group games to encourage eating ; Car ride is back to just me and Yoshi singing ABC songs (& those newly learnt chinese nursery rhymes)......

Actually the day went by much better than I expected. Perhaps because Yoshi said goodbye to grandparents at the airport, so he wasn't really suprise not having them in the house when we were back. But surely he missed having grandparents around playing with him. Kiharu was napping very well, and she smiled everytime when Yoshi was around. The best part of the day- no wet diaper accident with Yoshi under my high supervision...^_^ (yes, grandma, he asked for raisins after bathroom visit....^_^)

公公婆婆, THANK YOU for coming, mama couldn't have handle this new transition smoothly without having you around. We miss you. See you soon at Skype.

(this afternoon just 3 of us, home alone........Yoshi was using his toy camera pretending to take photo of his sister)
